It was a television

mother and son reunion

which means more

myth and magic than

reality.

But what fun to see

two people poking

and prodding each other

and pleased to

out pun the other.

It made the viewer

remember the

best of the other-

wise dreadful days

of life with mother,

who, because of early

childhood experiences

not to mention pre-natal,

lived a life of covetousness

which spoiled

most of their interactions,

but watching T.V.,

smilingly, he recalled,

refreshingly, the occasional

repartee.
